I remember a time in high school when some muscle men rocked up at my school and, during an address about the power of Christ, tore a few phone books in half with their bare hands.
By this stage I was already suitably disillusioned with religion, but it did raise the valid question about the strength of a piece of paper.
Now, years later, there is a video that shows the power of a piece of paper against wood and the internet is loving it.
Here’s what the man who pulled off the feat had to say to Huffington Post:
With humidity making the paper “fairly limp with moisture,” Heisz said it was “amazing” that his experiment even worked.
He later tried to test his makeshift paper blade on a piece of aluminum [sic], but it just “polished the edge before wearing out,” he wrote. “The abrasiveness of the paper works well on wood, but is no match for anything harder.”
Show us what you’re made of, paper.
Fine, I’ll say it – gives new meaning to the term ‘paper cut’, huh?
